I made three more playlists. Have a listen!

Hello! It’s been a while since my last post. How have you all been? Well, I don’t think anyone is actually reading this blog, so I’m just writing freely.

Now, the reason I decided to post an update after so many months is that I’ve created new playlists on Spotify for my music—three of them, in fact!

So, what kind of playlists are they? I made one for English-speaking listeners, one for French-speaking listeners, and one for Spanish-speaking listeners. You might think, “Isn’t that just three playlists matching the three versions of the YUKIO MUSIC blog?” And you’d be absolutely right! I simply created these playlists to align with my blog.

Honestly, it was probably a mistake to create English, French, and Spanish versions of my blog to match my homepage. I’ve already been struggling to update my blog in my native language, Japanese, and trying to maintain three additional blogs in foreign languages is just exhausting. I can’t even speak these languages, yet here I am, stuck with them. There’s no turning back now—what’s done is done. Lately, I’ve been feeling worn out because of this, but I made up my mind and pushed through! I worked hard and created these English, French, and Spanish playlists.

Why did I even start these blogs in languages I can’t speak? Well, I’ve mentioned this before, but when I first created my homepage, I wanted to share my music with the world, not just Japan. So, I asked a friend who was good at languages to translate for me. I could have gone with Chinese or Korean as well, but that friend happened to be studying English, French, and Spanish, so that’s how it happened.

At first, things were going well, but then I lost contact with that friend. So now, when I update the blogs, I have no choice but to rely on Google Translate. Maybe this time, I’ll try ChatGPT instead.

As for the playlists, I’ve chosen different songs for each language group. For the English-speaking audience, I selected my more hard rock-style songs. For the French-speaking audience, I focused on tracks that use “cliché” (a musical term). And for the Spanish-speaking audience, I picked songs with a Latin-inspired rhythm—more or less. Honestly, I just chose them randomly.

Would you like to give these playlists a listen? They’re fun! And if you send me your thoughts after listening, I’d be really happy. Though, I doubt anyone will.

Please enjoy my original Japanese songs—music like this doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world!

I made two playlists on Spotify.

Hello! I usually write this blog on Sundays, but today is a weekday, and it’s the end of the rainy season, so it’s raining outside.

Now, there’s a reason why I decided to write today. I created two new playlists on Spotify, and I wanted to introduce them to you.

The two playlists are “ラテンなYUKIO-YUKIO Latin” and “ハードロックなYUKIO-YUKIO Hard Rock”. They feature my original songs with Latin rhythms and hard rock vibes, respectively.

In the past, I’ve made several playlists as part of my music streaming service strategy, but I always felt unsure about the purpose of making them. I ended up creating a lot of random playlists without a clear motive. However, I believe these two new playlists are quite good.

Previously, I focused on creating albums, aiming to convey my world view through the entire album. While that hasn’t changed, I realized that creating playlists offers a different way of experiencing my music.

A different perspective from the album’s world view…

This new approach involves grouping similar songs from my original works. “ラテンなYUKIO-YUKIO Latin” includes songs with Latin rhythms, and “ハードロックなYUKIO-YUKIO Hard Rock” features hard rock songs. These playlists reflect this idea. If albums represent a vertical axis, then playlists represent a horizontal axis.

Spotify Playlist: ラテンなYUKIO-YUKIO Latin

Why did I come to this realization? It’s because I’ve been listening to similar playlists myself for years! I didn’t create actual playlists, but I selected and listened to these songs in order during my morning or lunchtime breaks. I found the sequence enjoyable. Especially in this season, “ラテンなYUKIO-YUKIO Latin” feels refreshing when listened to in the hot summer. The other playlist, “ハードロックなYUKIO-YUKIO Hard Rock”, feels intensely hot and exhilarating when listened to on a scorching summer day, like eating spicy curry or mapo tofu while sweating profusely.

Spotify is a free streaming service, so why not give these playlists a listen? They are perfect for summer. As the creator, I assure you won’t be disappointed. If you like them, please follow me.

Drinking sake, together.

Today I would like to introduce my own original song. The song title is “Drinking sake, together.”

This song is a song that remembers the time of the funeral that my wife’s father died. It is set that the people who came to the funeral and the father of the wife who went to heaven exchange the last greeting while drinking sake through my song. Whenever I sing this song, I can not stop tears.

In Japan, there is a good wine called sake made from rice. Will you go drinking sake with me?
